SW- 229 4/17- 235 4/21- 227.5 CW- 226.4 GW- 160-170 Age- 37 Height- 5’9” Super excited to have lost another pound. I’m hoping this pound a day trend stays for a little bit. It’s been nice sunny and warm in socal. So going to be doing a lot of walking outside. Got a lot done today. Took my son to job #2 to drop off some…

SW- 229.8 4/17- 235 CW- 4/21 227.5 GW- 160-170 Age- 37 Height- 5’9” I am beyond exhausted today. Yesterday I worked both jobs and I’m normally off work from job 2 by 9pm but I didn’t finish until 10:30 then a 45 min drive home. I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I weighed myself and I have lost 7.5 lbs. It’s…

Good morning everyone! Super tired today but the end of the week is always like that for me because we are just so busy as a family. Last night I had a pretty good NSV. Wednesdays are swim lesson nights for my son (almost 3) and if he did good he gets to choose what he wants for dinner (takeout). It’s normally McDonald’s…

@BarbMessimer thanks. I’m sorry that you had that experience. This contest is with a company I have been getting my protein powder from for years. The owners are wonderful and beyond amazing. They did this competition in January and have only pleated the winners 2 times. Once to announce the winner and then when they…

After some thought I have updated my goals. SW- 229 CW- 235 GW- 160-170 Age- 37 Height- 5’9” Goals: 1. Log meals- 3 days 2. Meet daily water goal- 3 days 3. Consume at least 100g of protein a day- 2 days 4. Read a chapter a day- 4 days 5. Do a babble lesson a day (learning Spanish)- day 1 I had a setback this weekend. I…

@nebslp thanks. It was a nickname from my sisters best friend in high school and it stuck. I started a running total and my goals had to change for health reasons. I need to rethink things.

I’m not new to MFP but I’m restarting after having my first baby during lockdown. I gained 90 lbs when I was pregnant due to medical issues. I have lost 60lbs of that weight but can’t seem to get the last 30 off to get to my pre baby weight. Then I have another 30-40 lbs to loose from there. Most of the people I had as…

I’m right there with you. I used to be really good about working out until I had my son during the pandemic and had some bad postpartum depression and anxiety that went untreated. Would love to help keep each other motivated

Mom of 1 here. No c-section but i had very bad preeclampsia and gained over 90lbs. I’ve lost 60 right after having my son but the last 30 have been beyond difficult to loose.

@nebslp i love your goals with the running counts. Great job! I might have to try that out. Goals 1. Log meals- 2 days 2. Do better body after baby plan daily- started today 3. Do daily babble goal before bed (learning Spanish)- started today 4. Read at least a chapter a day- 2 days 5. So a quick house cleanup before bed-…

SW: 229 GW: 160 but honestly I’d be happy with 170 Age: 37 Height: 5’9” I just rejoined after a very long break. I had my first child may of 2020 and man the postpartum was very very bad. I lost about 60lbs after having my son but the last 30 just won’t come off, to be at pre baby weight. I recently signed up for a weight…

I could use some more active motivated friends. I have been a mfp user for a long time but maybe within the past year have really focused on using it more. I was doing good and had lost 30lbs and almost 10%body fat and then I got sick. After 6 months I gained it all back and more. I recently found out I had a liver and…

I agree. It makes it much more motivating seeing comments rather than likes. Feel free to add me

Hi ladies! I’m 32 with 25-30 lbs more to loose. I was doing good in March with only 10 lbs left when I got sick with massive heart issues. I just started getting things back on track now that I am feeling better. I will add you all and feel free to add me as well. It’s nice to have a good support system.

I’m right there with you! Feel free to add me.

I completely agree with this. I meal prep for the week and log what I eat in the morning when I have my breakfast. The only thing I log throughout the day is my water in take so I can make sure I drink enough because I forget. Also a good group of motivational friends can really help too. I find even though I have logged…

I actually don't put a calorie level on what I eat. My normal diet ranges from 950-1050 calories. But I don't really look at that I look at the nutrients I am taking in and how my body is reacting to them. Start back at it slow. Make small changes each week and listen to how your body likes or dislikes them. This is how I…

I do this too and it helps A LOT! Also I would prep your meals during the day and know you have to eat those meals.if you get hungry in between your meals drink some water. Or if you just can't finish your prepped meal put it back in the fridge and eat it the rest when you get a little hungry again. Then cook dinner for…

When I get stuck in a rut like you are I try to make small changes a week at a time. This way you don't start full force and give up as quickly because you don't feel like you can do it. One week focus on drinking more water. The next try taking a walk each day while still doing the water thing, and so on. Just remember it…

I have the same issue. I will add you and you can see my diet. When I first started the diet with no exercise I lost almost 20lbs.

Feel free to add me! Looking for more friends so we can motivate each other and keep each other accountable.

I feel you on the eating struggle. My husband wants to gain and he eats anything and everything. I feel like just watching him sometimes makes me gain weight.

So many good motivational friends so far!

I'm near LA and long beach! Whittier/la habra area here!

I'm always looking for more motivational friends! I have 50-60 lbs to loose and can never seem to get past the 12lb mark. Feel free to add me my food diary is open to my friends and I will try to motivate you the best I can.

Any and all support helps. I was in your same situation until I realized I needed the support and the drive to push it. You can do it!
